Dawntrail Healers need a rework

Though can you explain the burn system? That was before I played AST. Other than just knowing it exists, I'm not sure the HOW of it other than AST had something like 8-10 abilities that were just about Card play (including Minor Arcana stuffs), and even discounting stuff like Undraw, there seemed to be more going on. Wasn't there something where the cards you burned had different effects on the next card played? Or was the effect always the same, depending on the card? That is, was it "Burn Ewer, next card is AOE" or was it "Burn Card, next Balance is AOE, next Spire has 2x the duration, etc"?

Burn Ewer, next card is AoE is correct there. Royal Road (nicknamed burn because of the animation) would dispel your current card to change up the next card.

Burning Ewer and Spire would make the next card AoE at 50% effectiveness (so Balance would go from 10% to 5%, but on everyone).

Burning Balance and Bole would make the next card 50% stronger (so Balance would be 15% on a single person, Ewer restored 50% more MP, etc.)

Burning Arrow and Spear would double the duration of the next card (so everything would go from 30s to 60s)

And if we didn't like a card, we could Redraw, or convert it to Lady or Lord at random.

Celestial Opposition I believe extended the buff duration from cards in play as well, so that 30s AoE Balance would be 40s instead, and Time Dilation was the single target variant that increased someones card by 15s.

It's also worth noting that og CO and TD could be used to extend Shroud, regens etcetc. Old AST was an intricate beautiful beast.

Even if Creator itself wasn't exactly an all time classic tier, man I had so much fun on AST back then. Putting the work and effort into good CD and card management really allowed you to feel like you were dragging a group along in a way that's just not possible anymore. Plus the card and time extension play was constant. None of this throwing everything into your opener/2 minute window and then AFKing till the next that AST is stuck with now++
